I had a great time during my 1 month stay here. The hostel had great facilities and is in a really good location near central Kyoto. The other volunteers and hostel staff were really friendly, and we had many fun socials together. Work was fair and we would usually finish early. I'd highly recommend volunteering here if you want to experience life right in the heart of Kyoto :)

The hostel was a very nice and chill volunteer experience for me. The work was simple, hours were short, since we often finished early, and the staff was really friendly. During my stay there were also many other friendly volunteers who made the stay even more fun. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want to explore Kyoto and the area around. (Also very central location, right next to the river for some nice walks after work) Thank you for everything! :)
